Kamsky stuns Anand

NEW DELHI: In a stunning result, tailender Gata Kamsky brought down leader Viswanathan Anand in 47 moves in the sixth round of the Corus chess championship at Wijk aan Zee, in Holland, on Friday.

Playing white in their Queen's Gambit Accepted game, Kamsky claimed pawns on the 31st and 36th moves before winning an ending involving a bishop each and pawns. Kamsky easily converted his pawn-advantage into a morale-boosting victory that came after he suffered four losses in five rounds.
